Cleaning and Disinfection of the MAYFIELD 2 Skull Clamp
Cleaning:
Option 1: Manual Cleaning
Care should be taken to read completely this section on Cleaning, Disinfection and Decontamination
of your MAYFIELD 2 equipment. It is important to know what method of cleaning/disinfection is
needed based on what type of debris exposure the equipment has received. This is especially important
when there is the possibility of exposure to a persistent pathogen that is resistant to normal cleaning
and disinfection methods. Equipment with this exposure should be processed per the steps in the
Decontamination Section. Integra does not make any claims regarding the effectiveness of the
decontamination processes listed in deactivating pathogens, but rather, we are indicating that the device
can withstand these procedures with minimal loss of function.
IMPORTANT: If the product has been exposed to persistent/ highly contagious pathogens
gluteraldehyde, alcohol or formalin to the device until the decontamination process is complete.
(See Decontamination Section below for instructions)
The following steps are recommended for Manual Reprocessing of the MAYFIELD 2 Skull Clamp ( A3059 ) .
1. Disassembly: Separate the Ratchet Extension from the body portion of the Skull Clamp.
Visually confirm that there are no Skull Pins in the rocker arm or Torque Screw. It is recommended to
completely remove the ratchet extension from the clamp before removing Skull Pins.
• Remove the Torque Screw from the Ratchet Extension.
2. Soak each component in a warm enzymatic solution (35°C-45°C) prepared in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions for 30 minutes.
3. Wash and Rinse:
• Scrub each component with a soft brush. The Skull Clamp can withstand detergents that
fall within pH ranges of 3-11.
• Clean thoroughly to remove any traces of blood and/ or debris. This is to prevent such
blood and/ or debris from interfering with function or movement.
• Inspect all components to ensure each component is visibly clean. Repeat as needed.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water (e.g. deionized water) to remove all traces of
detergent.
Persistent pathogens are resistant to deactivation by normal disinfection procedures and may require more aggressive treatment
1
to achieve disinfection. See guidelines in Decontamination section for recommended procedures.
